Takashi's personal blog。Not just about paintings、What I think about every day、what you feel、I write whatever comes to mind。This blog is the third generation。From the beginning, it has been over 20 years.。 2023From January 1st、For now, I decided to just write on odd numbered days.。I'm going to think about my future direction and other things piece by piece.。

Cospa (cost performance)

YouTube "Blue Seagull Painting Class" video - "How to use felt-tip pens"

"Cospa" is already "Japanese"。Doesn't work anywhere outside of Japan、And it's also commonly used in the media.、It can only be called "pure" Japanese.。Oh dear、I don't care about that、In other words, "emphasis on efficiency"。

It seems that the number of people watching YouTube at "double speed" is rapidly increasing recently.。Not just YouTube、News too、What a study、up to education。It is true that news etc. have low value per hour.、Sometimes I even wish it was 4x faster, let alone 2x faster.。In terms of studying, education, and gaining knowledge,、If you can do it at double speed、Maybe there's nothing better than that。

However、Knowing something and being able to experience it are two completely different things.。Whether it's tea or alcohol、Do not explain the brand or anything in too much detail.、Sometimes it interferes with the taste.。I love only one brand of coffee、For those who enjoy their time thoroughly、Is this the origin of other brands?、It doesn't matter if it's a trend、I don't know if people who have knowledge about coffee can enjoy it more deeply.。Studying and education are all about expanding your worldview.、It's meant to deepen、It should be (or was) another thing to receive praise for that.。but、By the time you can understand the taste、After all, it takes time and money (even if it's not a lot of money)。
but、It seems that education and knowledge are being confused.、Educated person = knowledgeable person = intellectual = good! It seems that the number is increasing (!)。If that's what you mean、I think I can understand the importance of acquiring knowledge at double speed.。most、Educated people are often also knowledgeable.、Although it cannot be said that it is a ``confusion'' in general.。

No one would believe me if I said, ``You can understand everything about art in 15 minutes.''、Let's narrow it down a bit and say, "You can understand everything about jazz in 15 minutes."、(Those who are well-educated in jazz probably won't be surprised by this, but for someone like me who doesn't have a background in music, it might not necessarily make them want to take a look.)。“Cospa” in time and money、sometimes hundreds、This is because I feel like it would be a few thousandths of a second.。
My video on YouTube “How to use felt-tip pens”。"8 minutes 17 seconds"、If you can draw anything with a felt-tip pen, it's cost-effective! But、If they could paint like that, all painters would have gone out of business long ago.。By the way、The video explains how to use it (my way).、I'm not saying that anyone can draw the same way just by looking at it.。

university entrance exam

“At the fishing port of Boso” felt-tip pen + transparent watercolor

Today is the entrance exam for many national and public universities across the country.、The first day will be held。For prospective students, please、I sincerely hope that you will make full use of the results of your daily studies.。It's been quite a while now、It's this time of year at my house too.、I remember being so nervous that everyone dared to “relax”.。

I can't forget my child saying, "My hands are shaking and I can't write well."。That's how nervous test takers are。in their life、I think this is probably because it is perceived as the biggest hurdle.。

“No matter which university you graduate from,、Some people say, "Once you graduate, the rest is up to you."。But、At least in Japanese reality、No matter what field you choose, your final educational background (school you graduated from) will stay with you for the rest of your life (not only for the child but also for their parents).。Very recently, there is an age column on resumes.、It seems that more and more companies are starting to recruit without a field for final educational background.、still only a part。children are sensitive、I have little faith in the media and the Ministry of Education's ``ideal image'' of the relationship between university selection and the subsequent relationship with society.。They believe in their seniors who are close to them.、Raw experiences。

I'm sorry this happened a long time ago, but、The theme was "Open up your life with your ability" (reverse?)、It reminded me of an American short animation.。~Two elementary school classmates。The girl is a child of immigrants and lives in a single-parent household.。The boy is the millionth child of a wealthy man.。My father is a high-ranking person in a large company.。~~The boy has several specialized private tutors.、Successfully passed into a famous university。The girl is worried that her mother is not feeling well.、Drop out of high school and start working。~~The next scene the two meet is at the (boy's) wedding scene.。Then the groom (boy) declares。"I've always worked hard on my own.。Nothing is impossible no matter how hard you try、There isn't.。” says the guest as well.、``Just because he's the son of a wealthy man,、Not applicable in modern times。The results we have achieved so far are nothing but his personal efforts.'' From the wedding venue to the couple.、The staff member who has been filming wedding videos for gifts is a girl.。-direct、Not related to university entrance exams、I was watching the news thinking that most of the staff at the companies reporting on entrance exams were from so-called top universities.。- Examinee、Good luck everyone。

It's hard to stay motivated

Figure studies (watercolor、F10）

motivation-Motivation is (the source of) motivation。When you're full of motivation, it's natural to do something.、I can't imagine feeling like I'm trying to "maintain" something.。However、A series of small failures、The environment has changed and it has become somehow difficult.、When things don't go smoothly for various reasons、including me、Many people lose motivation, even temporarily.。

Even if my motivation doesn't increase、Most of the time, for various reasons, you cannot get the desired result → Feeling of accomplishment、Unable to feel happy → It is painful to continue、I guess that means。If you get the results you want、I probably won't worry about it。

Humans are very greedy animals.、If the same (similar) results continue、That in itself is a source of dissatisfaction, which is troublesome.。For example, let's say you come second every time in a track and field event.。2nd place every time in different tournaments is quite a good result.。Moreover, since we are humans, it is not only when we are in good physical condition.。Still, I think it's amazing that he came in second place every time.、If you want to be number 1, you'll probably be dissatisfied.、Maybe you've gotten used to "always coming in second place" and it's far from a sense of accomplishment.。The problem is the surroundings。"disappointing。Encouragement such as “Just one more step” or “Next time is number one” have the opposite effect.、Detracts from the person's sense of accomplishment。And before you know it, that feeling of regret settles in your heart.。imagine like that。

People who get motivation only by comparing themselves with others、In this sense, it can be said that athletes in various sports are in a particularly harsh environment.。If you say it like this、It may seem as if you are already in the state of enlightenment.、I can't escape from that either.。However、Lately, I have been more interested in comparing myself to other people.、I've started thinking about motivation in terms of how much time I have left in my life.。Comparing it to a mountain、Rather than the concrete result of reaching the top、From what height do you want to view the scenery?、It seems that there is a shift towards a kind of "self-satisfied" style.。Although self-satisfied、There are many hurdles, no matter how small, to get there.、Enjoy a little bit of joy each time you overcome each one.。I think there's no point in trying、When an incredible "emptiness" arises、I feel like I'm losing motivation、For now, he seems to be able to maintain his motivation with "small" satisfaction.。
